Publication number: 20190089278Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed herein for controlling a variable speed electrical generator. The method includes setting a threshold for a parameter of an output power of the generator set, operating an engine of the generator set at a first speed to provide the output power to a load, comparing the parameter of the output power to the threshold over a plurality of changes in a demand of the load, and determining whether to adjust a speed of the engine from the first speed to a second speed in response to the comparison of the parameter to the threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Applicant: Cummins Power Generation IP, Inc.Inventor: Mark E. Turpin

Patent number: 9689352Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system for marine internal combustion engines and other variants is provided. An internal combustion engine is coupled to an electric power generator. An exhaust aftertreatment system connected to the engine includes an exhaust gas recirculation system with an exhaust gas recirculation system having one or more cooling features to reduce an external temperature of the EGR system.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2016Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: CUMMINS POWER GENERATION IP, INC.Inventor: Mark E. Turpin

Patent number: 9562456Abstract: An internal combustion engine is coupled to an electric power generator. An exhaust manifold for the engine includes an exhaust gas conduit. A housing includes a catalyst in fluid communication with the conduit to receive exhaust produced by the engine. The catalyst is operable to reduce one or more constituents of the exhaust.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Cummins Power Generation IP, Inc.Inventors: Mark E. Turpin, Clayton Smith, Gary A. Salmonson, Brian G. Haupt, Shawn John Kipka, Kurt Butz, Lee Severtson, David W. Strombeck
